Oh, wait, maybe I am wrong. I thought that was when it was set up, but now I found something else that says 1986. Basically there were a series of gradual adjustments during a time of pretty intense racism within the system, this was back in the time period when a jury looked at the Rodney King beating and said it looked fine to them.

There’s also this:

One of the most extensive mass expulsion campaigns in US history, on the premise that Mexican migrants and US-born Mexican Americans were responsible for significant aspects of the nation’s economic miseries. By the late 1930s, 2 million people had been expelled to Mexico; 60% are estimated to have been US citizens.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service launched Operation Wetback, a paramilitary campaign to expel Mexican migrants. Over 1 million people were apprehended; many families were separated by deportation. Operation Wetback reduced unauthorized crossings; the government replaced those workers—because of employer demands—with legal guest workers through the Bracero Program.

And also:

A November 2019 report by the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General found that “senior managers” involved in the hiring of Immigration Judges had used a system of “code words” to rate “the attractiveness” of female candidates.[32]
